Looking for a local artist for a trunk show – San Francisco – Feb 4th

Doug — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:16:42 +0000

Looking for a local artist (jewelery, earthenware, glass) that would be interetsed in setting up a vendor table during a non-profit event Feb 4th in San Francisco. I chair an annual luncheon which brings in 100-150 women. The have cocktails for an hour and then lunch. Lively bunch – they like to shop and I usually can find someone with ease who wants to sell their goods. In looking back – all the vendors that have come through are corporate sales. It would be nice to find a local artist this year. All the attendees are from the Bay Area, so you may be able to grow your business. There are no other vendors at this event – so not really any competition.

You have to have an inventory of product, not just a couple of pieces to sell. Jewelery, cosmetics, small home good, purses/handbags or glass/earthenware would be a perfect fit. Last year $1000 of product was sold by a Home Party Jewelery company. The hook is you donate 20% of sales back to the non-profit. Shoot me an email if you fill the bill. It’s about four hours of work.

Greetings!

Can you believe the weather? WOW!

Charles and I were out at the site measuring and plotting the map of the show (which should be ready in about a week and a half) yesterday and it was 75 degrees at TI & absolutely beautiful.

So…… We are opening up the ENTIRE front parking lot ~ Shown above to be able to Host as many of you OUTDOORS as possible in the Front of the show.

The spaces actually measured out to be 10′ wide by 16′ deep. They are diagonal and offer you the option to park your car at the side and exhibit beside your car or park behind and show out. Choices Choices

Here are the Exhibit Choices for OUTSIDE – The Show is for 2 day bookings

10′W x 16′D $79 – 2 DAYS

20′W x 16′D $149 – 2 DAYS

30′W x 16′D $199 – 2 DAYS

As you are aware the Show is Rain or Shine as the Indoor Show will be going on!

However…. Charles and I have decided that if the weather is torrential and we need to
call it for the OUTDOOR exhibitors we will put your booth fee to the next show!

OR like they do in NY stay and sell as the SHOPPERS are coming and they sell in SNOW and RAIN at the Markets there! Up to you ~ There will be SALES to be made.

For those of you that have signed-up for the Indoor Show ~ thank you! (checkout the picture at the top of the email showing the Main Level & Mezzanine inside Bldg. One) The INDOOR spots are almost sold out for January!!!! I will send you an email confirming that you have an exhibit in the show this week. When I get the map completed (a couple of weeks) I will then send you an email confirmation of your location with BOOTH number - YOU WILL NEED TO PRINT & BRING THIS CONFIRMATION TO THE SHOW.

About a week before the show I will send you an email of the instructions on unloading and setting up for the show! We are going to try to make this as smooth as possible for you and lend assistance in getting you and your merchandise in as quickly as possible. We will be having the job corps assist you in getting your products to your exhibit location.

We do offer a 10% discount if you book ALL 3 Shows!

As the Exhibits Sell out I will update the website so you will know what is available for Booking!

Best to everyone. We are looking forward to seeing you soon,
